Chapter 1354: Chapter 979, Chelu City

Chelu!

The main city of the Yeko Kingdom.

Wu Heng stood on a distant hillside, gazing at the main city of the kingdom.

From afar, the buildings were densely packed and covered a vast area, even factoring in the Outer City District of Lundham City, it was probably only half the size of the city before them.

The city walls were iron gray, with towering arrow towers erected at intervals, and guards could be seen patrolling the walls, with tight defenses.

"This city is so big," Little Fei remarked from the side.

Bella followed with admiration, "It’s bigger than any we’ve been to."

The other three Ghosts also looked on, surprise in their eyes.

Even though they’ve seen the scale of modern cities, this ancient town has a different kind of awe-inspiring feeling.

The former Yeko Kingdom certainly developed well.

"Bella, isn’t this your country! What are you surprised about?" Lady asked from the side.

Bella replied, "I’ve only been to Black Stone Town, never here. I’ve only heard merchants and mercenaries passing through talk about this place."

Lady nodded in understanding.

Apart from some merchants or mercenaries, most people will never leave their hometown village or town for a lifetime.

Let alone here.

Back in Black Stone Town, Wu Heng’s biggest thought was to leave the jurisdiction of the Yeko Kingdom, to a city where there was no restriction on Necromancers.

Ultimately, it was due to an association’s order that arranged a suitable location, that he headed to Lundham City.

Thinking back now, the association really does have some good systems in place.

Wu Heng withdrew his gaze and casually donned the ’Faceless Mask’, transforming into the appearance of a middle-aged man with coarse skin and short brown hair, then said, "Let’s go, let’s head into the city."

"Heading into the city!" Little Fei cheered.

One person and four Ghosts headed downward.

As they walked onto the main road, the path became smoother, and they could see carriages bearing the flags of Chambers of Commerce, approaching the city gates in procession.

"Uncle! The checks at the city gate are strict, they inspect bags and use level crystals to test levels," Xiao Xiao’s voice rang in his ears.

Following was Glenda’s voice, "They’re afraid that your uncle will enter the city and kill them all."

"They really underestimate us, thinking they can catch us like this," Xiao Xiao said indignantly.

Wu Heng glanced at the location near the city gate, Chambers of Commerce carriages were being checked strictly, and a long queue of ordinary pedestrians were being inspected and questioned one by one.

"Is there a suitable place for teleportation?" Wu Heng asked.

"Yes! Sister Bella and I have already found it," Xiao Xiao said, diving directly into his body.

An image of a dark alley inside the city immediately appeared in Wu Heng’s mind.

He turned directly and walked into the dense forest on one side.

[Teleportation Technique] released, his figure vanished.

...

In the dark alley.

The Array quickly gathered, Wu Heng’s figure appeared.

Stepping out of the alley entrance, the shop owner next door glared and cursed, "You worm, dare to come here to pee again, I’ll cut off your thing and soak it in wine, get lost, don’t let me see you."

Wu Heng’s footsteps paused, wanting to explain. Seeing the other party glare, he could only hurriedly leave.

Curses from the shop owner followed behind.

"Hehe, Uncle’s so wronged,"

"Being cursed like this as a Hero, you should be the first," Lady mocked from the side.

"It’s all Xiao Xiao and Bella’s fault for choosing the wrong place," Wu Heng grumbled.

"Uncle really knows how to shift blame."

"Exactly, what does it have to do with us?"

The thorough checks at the city gate didn’t have much impact inside the city, roads were smooth and wide, shops and vendors stood along the street shouting loudly.

The crowd was dense, and the Ghosts no longer spoke, observing everywhere while invisible.

Wu Heng walked for a while, standing before a notice at an intersection.

The notice describes Lundham City’s invasion of territories and massacre of civilians, along with encouraging words to bolster faith and promise a victory.

Next to it were various wanted notices, Wu Heng glanced over but didn’t see those of the Second Prince or the Fifth Princess.

He did see the wanted notices for a few ministers around the Second Prince.

Royal Family dignity had to be maintained, though fights might remain fierce in private, on the surface it should still be respectable.

Staying there for a while.

Wu Heng walked straight ahead, stopping before a tavern called ’Poet’s Corner’.

He glanced up at the wooden sign above with carved lyre and pushed the door to enter.

The interior decoration was quite decent; a few tables of guests were drinking and chatting.

The reason Wu Heng came here was due to the information provided by ’Natalia’ before leaving, that the city’s spies were only here, continuously providing intelligence.

If one needed an identity or to inquire about some news, this was the place to come.

Sitting at the counter, the owner in a brown apron handed a large mug of beer to the front customer.

Then he looked over to Wu Heng’s side, glanced him up and down, and asked, "What does the guest need?"

"Honey ale, vegetable soup, bread and a plate of lamb slices," Wu Heng said casually.

The owner turned to start preparing as Wu Heng continued asking, "Boss, let me ask you something, why is the old blacksmith shop at East Street corner gone?"

The owner’s movement paused, back turned, eyes slightly narrowed, then replied, "The shop’s been locked for two months, rumored to have gone with the army to repair weapons, do you know them?"

Wu Heng reached into his bag and took out a horseshoe, "Previously got horseshoes made there, came this time to see if he could make another set."

"Why bother asking a blacksmith, just buy a set from a store," the owner said, offering honey ale first.
